So what have we here then?

Yes, he is huge, and so noble. He is a rescue brought over from Spain, and now lives with my neighbours sister in Oban, Scotland. @snowbunny and @Emily_BabbelHund, you were both right. Buddy is a Spanish Mastiff crossed with a German Shepard Dog.

There is a white dog in our village that looks very much like Buddy facially, absolutely huge and a rescue from Greece or Cyrpus, can't remember where he lived in a huge tunnel drain . He is 11 years old now and looking quite wobbly these days. He has never been off lead as he used to run away but as he is so old he is allowed now, so lovely to see him trotting around, albeit very slowly. x

He's absolutely beautiful! Coco has a best friend at training who is a Spanish Mastiff cross (he is a Spanish rescue-dog) - they play wonderfully together, "arms" around each other. He towers over Coco, who I usually think of as a big dog.
